Hi,
Gradually I understand better the PSG (which I don't play).
It seems to me that there is a major design problem in TablEdit that can be fixed quite easily.
The copedent definition is correct but the entry of pedals and levers (effects) is wrong.
In TablEdit, we apply currently the effect note by note without taking into account the notes located on an adjacent string. We can even modify the effect punctually without respecting the copedent.
However, when a pedal or a lever is activated, all the notes played on a concerned string are affected and the only pitch variations allowed are those provided by the copedent.
So we need a different dialog box instead of this one:
We only need this:
The choice made must affect all the notes in the chord on the concerned strings.
This will incidentally avoid incompatibilities (case of two pedals that affect the same string in a different direction or case of an effect that affects two strings according to the copedent and that is only applied to one of them)
Of course, it is TablEdit that will take care of listing the effects from the existing notes when the dialog box is opened and apply the effects selected by the user to the notes according to the copedent.
I would like to have confirmation from you as experts that this important reform is useful and makes sense.

Hi,
Despite the lack of response, I started to develop my idea.
Here is the new dialog box:
The items in the list are selected according to the current position. The dialog box is non-modal, which means that the list is updated when you move the cursor in the tablature and the dialog doesn't close until you select "Close".
For this reason the "OK" button should be renamed "Apply".

Hi,
I am about to download the new version 3.02 b4.
Here is the link to the future page dedicated to your favorite instrument:
https://tabledit.com/help/english/steel_guitar2.shtml
The "Tablature Entry" part has been completely redesigned to reflect the changes.
I'm particularly glad to have moved the display options to the Options->Preferences page and to have simplified the "Pitch change" dialog box:
I'm waiting for your comments.

Matthieu, you are amazing. Thanks so much for taking the time to improve TablEdit and make it the best software for creating Pedal Steel Guitar tablature!
I like how you've updated the PSG page in the online instructions to show the Fingerings Optimization option and the[Shift}+[J] shortcut. I never knew those existed, but they are incredibly helpful!
I'm looking forward to trying out the Pedals and Levers box.
Thanks again!

I have spent many hours trying to make the old system work, so I will give another try with this new information. The link page was very informative
